13 Distance is a proxy for access. If access can be better measured, Distance is a proxy for access. If access can be better measured, this would create classical measurement error, which would produce attenuation effects that would strengthen our findings.

16 We consider other non-linearities such as quadratic and cubic models.

20 Evaluated at the mean distance Median Earnings models description: (1) Dist: includes 5 distance variables, plus 1990 county pop, 1990 pop in the nearest urban center, January sun hours, January temp, July humidity, July temp, typography score, % water area, proximity to Great Lakes, Pacific Ocean, and Atlantic Ocean, county area and state fixed effects. (2) Base: (1) + 4 market potential variables defined as 1989 aggregate household income within km, km, km, and km rings from the county centroid. (3) = (2) two pop variables: own county population and total population in the nearest or own urban area. (4) = (2) + 5 quadratic distance terms. Because of the nonlinearity, the impact of a one standard deviation change is evaluated as the change after a one-standard deviation increase in distances evaluated at the mean distances. (5) Full90: (2) plus 5 ethnicity vars, 6 age-distribution vars, 4 education vars, % female, % married, and % with a work disability, all measured in 1990 (6) = (5) market potential variables defined in (2); (7) = (5) 5 distance variables; (8) Full00: (2) plus same set of additional variables in (5) measured in 2000 (9) = (8) market potential variables defined in (2); (10) = (8) 5 distance variables (11) = (2) + 4 incremental MA pop 1990: inc pop of the nearest MA, inc pop of MA>250,000, inc pop of MA>500,000, and inc pop of MA>1.5 mill. See footnote 20. (12) = similar to (2) but pop variables are measured in 1980 and 1989 agg hh inc variables are replaced with 1979 BEA personal incomes within corresponding rings. Housing Cost models: Same set of variables as above except Full90 and Full00, which are explained below: Full90: (2) plus age of housing units, shares of 1-5 bedrooms out of total rooms, share of mobile units, share of complete plumbing and share of complete kitchen facilities, all measured in Full00: (2) plus median number of rooms, age of housing units, shares of 1-5 bedrooms out of total rooms, share of mobile units, share of complete plumbing and share of complete kitchen facilities, all measured in
